      Gedichte

      by Idea Vilariño, Peter Schultze-Kraft, Erich Hackl, Dorothee Engels, Erich Hackl

      »Es sind Gedichte der unmöglichen, der unerwiderten, der abwesenden, der verschmähten und verschlampten Liebe ... Voller Verzweiflung und zugleich durchdrungen von der Ahnung, nein: Gewißheit, daß ... ›die Hoffnung vorüber ist. / Was bleibt, ist die Spur ihrer Lüge.‹« Erich Hackl

      Rules and ethics

      Perspectives from anthropology and history

      by Morgan Clarke, Emily Corran

      This book investigates the pronounced enthusiasm that many traditions display for codes of ethics characterised by a multitude of rules. Recent anthropological interest in ethics and historical explorations of 'self-fashioning' have led to extensive study of the virtuous self, but existing scholarship tends to pass over the kind of morality that involves legalistic reasoning. Rules and ethics corrects that omission by demonstrating the importance of rules in everyday moral life in a variety of contexts. In a nutshell, it argues that legalistic moral rules are not necessarily an obstruction to a rounded ethical self, but can be an integral part of it. An extended introduction first sets out the theoretical basis for studies of ethical systems that are characterised by detailed rules. This is followed by a series of empirical studies of rule-oriented moral traditions in a comparative perspective.

      Governance, democracy and ethics in crisis-decision-making

      The pandemic and beyond

      by Caroline Redhead, Melanie Smallman

      This book is a powerful addition to a developing literature informed by arts and humanities research carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic. Investigating the impacts of crisis governance and decision-making on people and populations, the book brings together microbial organisms and humans, children and data, decision-making and infection prevention, publics and process, global vaccine distribution and citizens' juries. Through its eight chapters, the book stimulates broadly-drawn discussions about exceptional executive powers in an emergency, the role of trust, and the importance of the principles of good governance - such as selflessness, ethics, integrity, accountability and honesty in leadership. The lessons drawn out in this book will support future decision-makers in both ordinary times and extra-ordinary emergencies.

      by Ernst Peter Fischer, Detlev Ganten

      An idea for a theatre ecology

      Methods, theories, histories and practices

      by Carl Lavery

      An Idea for a Theatre Ecology is the first book in the discipline of Theatre and Performance Studies to provide a rigorous and coherent theory of the ecology that is immanent to the theatrical medium. Over six clearly written chapters, the book provides a genealogy, outlines a method, provides a lexicon and demonstrates an alternative practice of ecoperformance analysis grounded in the figure of the archipelago. Focusing on Antonin Artaud's theatre of cruelty, the book argues that theatre has no need to provide ecological messages nor to transform itself into a platform for the narration of ecological stories. Instead, more is to be gained, environmentally and politically, by concentrating on the power of images, gestures and voices to create corporeal affects and sensations that implicate the spectators in a terrestrial event.
